Python 3.6 S2I image missing SSL library: How can I enable SSL by default?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We need to have the SSL enabled by default or how can I can enable SSL library by default. We do not want to skip SSL checks for our python container.

  • Python 3.6 S2I image: NO SSL enabled.

    $ docker run -it --rm --name testpython registry.access.redhat.com/rhscl/python-36-rhel7 /bin/bash
    (app-root) python
    Python 3.6.3 (default, Oct  5 2017, 20:27:50)
    [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)] on linux
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import socket
    >>> hasattr(socket, "ssl")
    False
    >>>
    

    A false response means that python SSL library was not compiled into python installation on the image.
